United StatesHelix Tuner is a completely new way to tune your instrument. Unlike all other tuning apps, it does not detect your pitch at all. Instead, it combines the sound coming into the microphone with the desired tuning pitch to create a beautiful interference pattern on the screen. The interaction between your sound and the reference pitch creates an optical illusion of motion when your note is sharp or flat, and it appears stable when you're in tune. If you are tired of digital tuners that jump around erratically, have slow or delayed response to changes in your tuning, or in general just don't give you good tuning information, then Helix Tuner is the one you are looking for. When you manually select the tuning note, as opposed to letting the app detect it automatically, Helix Tuner is extremely resistant to background noise and higher string harmonics that confuse other tuners, causing them to jump around to higher notes and give wrong tuning information. Because the visualization system naturally responds more clearly to sounds near the selected tuning pitch, it is useful even when other musicians are playing nearby.
Absolutely amazing
I hope other people get a chance to try this tuner out. Incredibly helpful for me as a trumpet player. This is all I need for intonation practice. I love the minimal design and the beautiful visuals. It’s made playing long tones a kind of fun game where the goal is to keep the circle from spinning one way or the other
United States5 star but??
A useful app but wish it responded quicker to detecting the not being played. Look up Drone Tuner by the same developer, it will train your ear to actually play in tune with music.
United StatesIntuitively designed
Great tool for ear training
United StatesMusic is heavenly now.
You likely heard the adage, "it was like I took a blanket off my monitors". This tuner had the same effect on my guitar in the room. It's amazing what effect a tight tuning spec can have on complex chords, but the real test is hearing simple triads sound so sweet. The psychoacoustics actually come to mind (what did you just call me?) Helix tuner makes the popular clip on tuner sound... Well just saying well worth dealing with your phone. Automatic mode it's so simple. Just turn it on and forget it.
United StatesLove it
Similar to a strobe tuner and has a graph to help represent the shape and/or quality of tone you are making. Not really a Fourier transform, but something like it.
United StatesIncredible tuning accuracy
Gets my guitar perfectly in tune without any hassles or delays. One suggestion: it would be even better if it could go to landscape orientation, especially on an iPad. Thanks for a great app!
United StatesBest tuner on the App Store
Thanks you so much for providing this super accurate and well designed tuner! Maybe add „sweetened tunings“ as in-App purchases? That way users could support the ongoing development…
